Does anyone know of a Vbulletin mod/hack that removes EXIF/GPS, etc. data on photos when uploading and posting them on the forum.

A lot of my site members upload their cell phone photos and their location and other personal/private data is embedded. I think it would be great if there was a mod that wiped all this data from images before they are posted on the forum. I just can't find anything on that.

Thanks

You can recreate image using gd or imagemagick

I'm a newbie to this.

Can someone give me instructions on how to setup ImageMagick to recreate the image and strip it of exif data?

I would be eternally grateful!

Bump...

I have ImageMagick installed, I just don't know how/where to insert code to tell VBulletin to recreate the image.

You wouldnt do it in vb, you would run magick via the cmd line or using a script.
